The ballot adjudication process varies state by state, it typically involves a small panel of people reviewing a ballot to determine either the voter’s intent or whether the ballot can be counted at all based on whether the voter was eligible to cast it. Election officials have been stressing that adjudication – like counting every ballot received by election day – is part of the normal election process and is not out of the ordinary. However, the background process is now thrust to the forefront thanks to the razor-thin margins separating the presidential candidates, Joe Biden and President Donald Trump,...

Screen print of Parler's captcha not recognizing my input. This after over 50 rejections of what I typed in. So I tried to join Parler. Their requirements for a password are as follows, Use eight or more characters with at least one capital letter, lowercase letter, number, and special character. So I did as they required. Yet, I was denied my chosen password 35 times before they accepted this password, !9-chucK-56 Which begs the question, why did they deny this one, !9-Chuck-20 Or this one 19Chuck-an-!2 Now consider this password they suggested I use aCb-1fd3-Q!&m Yet they rejected over 35...

The policy of terminating the lives of the "hopelessly demented" in the Netherlands has often been difficult when patients objected to being put to death. Now, thanks to the Regional Euthanasia Review Committee (RTE), physicians will be allowed to "sedate patients who are agitated or excessively aggressive in fighting for their lives." Additionally, the RTE has determined that "it is not necessary for the doctor to agree with the patient concerning the time or manner in which euthanasia will be given. Doctors should have the right to use the element of surprise to overwhelm any resistance to the procedure." These...

Israel and Morocco have agreed to normalize relations, President Donald Trump announced on Thursday, marking the fourth Arab-Israel agreement in four months. As part of the deal, the U.S. will recognize Morocco’s claim over the disputed Western Sahara region. As his time in office winds down, Trump said Israel and Morocco would restore diplomatic and other relations, including the immediate reopening of liaison offices in Rabat and Tel Aviv and the eventual opening of embassies. U.S. officials said it would also include joint overflight rights for airlines. The White House said Trump and Morocco’s King Mohammed VI had agreed in...

Rep. Mike Kelly (R-Pa.) stated that his legal challenge to the Supreme Court isn’t over despite being denied an emergency order earlier this week. “All that happened is we were not granted temporary injunctive relief,” Kelly told Newsmax on Wednesday. “The case is still alive and well.” The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday denied Kelly’s request—which was also joined by congressional candidate Sean Parnell and other Republicans—after he sought to prevent Pennsylvania state officials from taking further action to certify the state’s election results. “And we are looking, how do we get the court to take on the case for...

The Georgia Secretary of State’s Office says it’s investigating Coffee County’s handling of the November presidential election recount. All counties were to finish the third tally of votes in the presidential election by midnight Dec. 2. But Coffee County was still trying to resolve a discrepancy of 50 votes the following day, the secretary of state said in announcing the investigation late Wednesday. By Dec. 4 Coffee was the only county that had not completed the recount. The county notified the secretary of state that it would not certify the results. The discrepancy was not enough to change the result...

“The Genealogy of Jesus Christ: From David to the Deportation” (Matthew 1:1, 6b-11) Last week we began looking at how Matthew begins his gospel. He begins with a genealogy, a genealogy that takes in much of Old Testament history. It is the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world. But Jesus was, first of all, the Savior of Israel. He is the promised Messiah, who fulfilled the promises given to Israel’s forefathers. Jesus came into the world as the culmination, the climax, of Israel’s history. And so Matthew writes: “The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the...

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s new mega law suit asserts that in “failing to follow the state statutory requirements for signature validation and other processes for ballot security, the entire body of such ballots is now constitutionally suspect and may not be legitimately used to determine allocation of the Defendant States’ presidential electors.” The bombshell claim comes today – on the ‘Safe Harbor Day’ for electoral votes – as numerous challenges proceed to give Republicans more time to bring mounting evidence before federal courts as well as the Supreme Court. Paxton’s case notes “significant and unconstitutional irregularities in the Defendant...

Democratic Rep. Zoe Lofgren will put her Silicon Valley version of GOP Sen. Mike Lee’s S.386 green card giveaway bill into the year-end omnibus bill — if top GOP leaders stand aside, say sources and lobbyists. The GOP leaders who can stop Lofgren’s bill include Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R.Ky., appropriations chairman Sen. Richard Shelby, R-Ala., and Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who recently won reelection.The Democrats “can sneak it through, so the leadership needs to draw the red line,” warned one Senate staffer. Lofgren is an immigration lawyer and represents a district in Silicon Valley. She pushed for the 2019...

In a surprising move, the Pentagon has told the Central Intelligence Agency that it plans to end the majority of the military support it provides to the agency's counterterrorism missions by Jan. 5, according to a former senior administration intelligence official. It is unclear how the decision would impact the spy agency's worldwide counterterrorism missions that often rely on the U.S. military for logistical support and personnel. Acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller sent a letter to CIA Director Gina Haspel outlining the decision, according to the former official, who characterized the action as both surprising and unprecedented.

Karma is a b*tch. Eric Swalwell is a Chinese agent. I have seen no evidence that he is not. After falsely pummeling Donald Trump for years over a contrived Hillary Clinton paid for fake dossier Eric Swalwell has finally been exposed for what he is. He's a Chinese agent and he's not alone. Apparently China owns the entire democrat party and perhaps some Republican Governors as well. This story has so many tentacles that it's difficult to capture it in one post so we'll focus on this Swalwell cancer first. Axios reported that a Chinese spy named Fang "Christine" Fang...

President Trump, speaking at a rally in Valdosta, Georgia over the weekend, urged Republican voters to show up and vote in the Senate runoffs, claiming the “socialists and communists” could win. The runoffs – between Republican Sen. David Perdue and Democrat Jon Ossoff and between Republican Sen. Kelly Loeffler and Democrat Rev. Raphael Warnock – will determine which party has control of the Senate. Republicans maintaining control has been deemed crucial in keeping a Biden administration in check. “There’s never been a case where a state has had this prominence on Senate races. Never together, and this is something that’s...

Indiana has signed on to an amicus brief filed in support of the Texas petition to the Supreme Court to sue Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin for their conduct in the 2020 presidential election. The brief says the actions of the four states “implicate a uniquely important national interest” because “the impact of the votes cast in each state is affected by the votes cast for the various candidates in other states." Indiana joins 16 other states on the brief: Missouri, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah and West...

The Bon Appetit saga proved you can politicize everything, as the mob demands, or you can create a vibrant, innovative culture — but you can't have both.During the lockdown regime of the past year, millions of Americans turned to their televisions, computers, and phone screens to escape despair. Because we are creatures of innovation and curiosity, however, many people taught themselves to make sourdough bread starters from the internet and something new the next day.The bread-baking game got so out of hand at one point this summer that yeast vanished from grocery store shelves. The appetite for hobbies, knowledge, and...
